38 weeks friday

I'm 38 weeks fri and dont think I've had any signs of labour on the way no Braxton hicks or Mucus plug etc, Anyone else the same?

Anyone else always worrying constantly about baby, she only moves first thing in morning and late at night which both doc and midwife said that's absolutely fine as long as there is 10 movements a day. I am first time mum and my placenta is anterior high and throughout the hole of my pregnancy her movements have never been strong or consistent just think I'm worrying more than ever now as it's getting so close.

Yes, 38 weeks on Saturday! I’m not expecting any signs until my due date though, my son was 10 days late- so still another 2 weeks to go before any real signs like mucus plug etc

I do get tightenings, but have done for weeks, I have an irritable uterus so it’s meaningless in my case! I have strong movements but he’s back-to-back so basically limbs sticking into my sides all day!! Very ready for this baby to come!! But I think it’ll be another 2-3 weeks xx

I’m 38 weeks tomorrow. I’ve had tightenings but I’ve been having these for about 2-3 weeks now and so I’m certainly not taking it to mean anything.

No other signs here though.

My baby seems to be a bit like yours, active in the morning and at night but I think that’s due to those being the times when I’m relaxed. I’m very busy during the days and so either she isn’t moving or maybe she is and I’m just not noticing it.

Im 38 weeks on Saturday and although I’m booked in for a csection, I have had no signs of going into labour naturally anyway. I’m also worrying so much every day about movements etc, feel so close but so far away from meeting baby 😩 trying my hardest to relax and keep busy and hooe the days go past quickly x

Newborn

Your baby spends much of her first week becoming accustomed to her new surroundings. After nine months inside your uterus, so much space, light and noise are very new to her. Your newborn's vision is pretty blurry at this stage. Read More

1 week old

Your newborn's still adjusting to his new world, which he may find a bit too noisy and well-lit at the moment. You'll notice his limbs move in a jerky, uncoordinated way. Soon, his movements will become more fluid. Read More
